Britain from Above - Manna - Netflix

Manna (Hebrew: מָן‎ mān, Greek: μάννα; Arabic: المَنّ‎, Persian:
گزانگبین‎), sometimes or archaically spelled mana, is an edible
substance which God provided for the Israelites during their travels in
the desert during the forty-year period following the Exodus and prior
to the conquest of Canaan.

Britain from Above - Potential discrepancies - Netflix

Some form critics posit conflicting descriptions of manna as derived
from different lore, with the description in Numbers being from the
Jahwist tradition, and the description in Exodus being from the later
Priestly tradition. The Babylonian Talmud states that the differences in
description were due to the taste varying depending on who ate it, with
it tasting like honey for small children, like bread for youths, and
like oil for the elderly. Similarly, classical rabbinical literature
rectifies the question of whether manna came before or after dew, by
holding that the manna was sandwiched between two layers of dew, one
falling before the manna, and the other after.
